Synopsis

Global Sports Unity explores whether international sporting events truly foster global harmony or merely amplify national rivalries. Utilizing Olympic Committee records, the book examines how events like the Olympics and FIFA World Cup impact international relations, especially as globalization intensifies. It investigates if these platforms bridge cultural divides or simply concentrate existing tensions, questioning the uncritical celebration of sports as a universal peacemaker. For example, while the Olympics aim to promote international cooperation, instances of political boycotts demonstrate the complex interplay between sports and politics.

 
The book progresses through three parts, first defining key concepts like sports diplomacy and nationalism. Second, it analyzes case studies of major events, dissecting their impact on host nations and international relations using historical records and media coverage. Finally, it assesses the overall effectiveness of these events in fostering unity and proposes strategies to maximize positive impacts. This approach allows the book to challenge simplistic views by providing evidence-based analysis and reasoned arguments, offering a nuanced understanding of sports' role in global affairs.

    A compelling autobiography from one of Detroit's favorite sons 
     
     
     
    At fifteen, Willie Horton received his first contract offer to become a professional baseball player. At twenty, he smacked his first major-league home run. At twenty-four, Horton stood in full uniform on the hood of his car, in the midst of burning homes and overturned vehicles, and pleaded for an end to the violence of the 1967 Detroit riots. 
     
     
     
    In this new autobiography, Horton shares the fascinating story of his life and career, from growing up in Detroit's Jeffries Projects as the youngest of twenty-one children to winning a World Series with his hometown Tigers in 1968. Horton also candidly discusses the opposition he faced as a Black player, his fond memories of Al Kaline, the joy he felt in returning to the Tigers as a front office executive, and the many ways he still tries to give back to Detroit and his community. 
     
     
     
    By turns heartrending and hilarious, this timely chronicle is an essential contribution to baseball's written history.
